  Darren Gough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gough noted that this would keep him fit whilst allowing him to spend the winter with his family and, visibly at least, had the support of his England colleagues.
In 2005 Darren Gough was winner of the BBC television series Strictly Come Dancing with his partner Lilia Kopylova and went on to win the subsequent Christmas Special.

 Darren Gough   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Darren Gough is ideally suited to his nickname "The Dazzler" because his brilliant performances for both Yorkshire and England have led to him being acknowledged as the leading strike bowler in the country as well as English cricket's top personality both on and off the field.
The match in which Darren first stepped over the threshold from promising young paceman to lethal fast bowler was at Taunton in 1992 when he destroyed Somerset with seven for 42 and a ten-wicket haul in the match.
Darren's tour was cut short by injury but he returned home a hero and his 20 wickets in three Tests were way ahead of what anyone else could manage in the entire series.
